Hugo Lloris says he remains firmly committed to Spurs and cannot wait to embark on a Champions League campaign with the club.

Lloris played his part in helping Mauricio Pochettino’s side finish third in the Premier League last season to seal a place in the group stage of Europe’s premier club competition.

The France keeper, who is set to be out for at least another week with a hamstring injury suffered against Everton on the opening day of the season, says he is settled at Spurs and is looking forward to being involved in the Champions League over the winter.

When asked about reports he could move on from Spurs, he told L’Equipe: “There have been rumours of my departure for many summers. From the moment we reached our goal, in spring, my mind was made up. I’ve never asked myself the question. I knew I would stay.

“I am in a project which started really with Pochettino. The first two seasons, yes, it didn’t happen as I wished collectively, but the challenges have helped me make my way. They saw that they could count on me.”
